Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru components
Fork
The Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru comes factory-installed with the Suntour fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Fork material
Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru model has aluminum wheels. After 700c wheels, 650b is the second most popular choice for road bikes. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Schwinn Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Sierra 27.5 Step-Thru comes in 3 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
